Realization of Hardy's thought experiment using classical light

We report the realization of Hardy's thought experiment in classical optical systems. Two different classical optical experiments are implemented. One is based on orbital angular momentum and polarization correlation in a classical optical beam, and the other is based on non-local classical correlation from two separated classical optical beams. All experimental results show that they are analogous to Hardy's paradox experiments. This means that Hardy's non-locality proof without inequalities, which is usually used in a quantum system, can also be achieved in classical optical systems.
